"Overloaded methods in the same class must return the same type" - said Jeremy Is this true?
I overload DistanceTo method with Point type parameter, return double and there is no compiler errors. Also in the Math class there are plenty of methods that are overloaded and return different types.

I think you've discovered a bug in the lesson.
I've used C# for years and I'm also not aware of any such restriction. Perhaps he meant to say that overloaded members may not differ by only the return type.
